A new batch of screenshots from the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines videogame by Sega has been released today. You can find them all by clicking the image below. Stay tuned over the next few minutes for new hands-on previews, gameplay videos and much more. Make sure to check the forums for links and constants updates on these new reveals.
As revealed in our recent Q&A with Gearbox Software, Aliens: Colonial Marines will be at PAX East this weekend where attendees will be able to face off against the developers in competitive multiplayer. Additionally, Gearbox Software will be talking about the game during its PAX East panel on Sunday, April 8th at 4:30pm in Manticore Theatre.
Some time ago you may remember us asking the community to submit their questions for a community Q&A with Gearbox Software about the upcoming title Aliens: Colonial Marines. We did a selection of the best and most commonly asked questions and today we have received the answers. Unfortunately, mainly due to time and resources constraints, just a few of the questions that were submitted have been answered. Click here to read the interview in full.
“One of the major goals we had in mind when we first started talking about Aliens: Colonial Marines was to offer a deeper insight into the mythology of the Aliens universe and answer some of the unresolved questions there. That’s something we’re very excited about, and a lot of that stems from discussions the team had with Ridley Scott. As I’m sure you can imagine, we’re also very excited about the possibility of Prometheus offering additional insight and answers as well. “
A very special thanks to Sega and Gearbox for answering our questions as well as the community for getting involved.

Fox has released a new viral video via their official website www.weylandindustries.com.

The tag line “Big things have small beginnings”, which some may remember from previous leaked material, can be heard on the video. You can download the viral here in HQ.
According to Collider.com: ” During the pic’s WonderCon panel earlier today, fans were given cards from Weyland Corp that directed them to a website and a phone number.

The text message gives you a link that directs you to a truly spectacular video narrated by one of the film’s stars.“
